MSI or Lenovo?

Opinions on any major differences in these two computers other than slightly better graphics card in the MSI? Appreciate any input. I am between these two right now. Looking to use it for gaming.

Amazon.com : MSI GT70 Dominator-895;9S7-1763A2-895 17.3-Inch Laptop : Computers & Accessories

Thanks

Lenovo has an SSD and more RAM...tho those can be added into the MSI. Lenovo will be slightly lighter, and has a touchscreen.

MSI will have better cooling most likely - especially since it has the Cooler Booster functionality which allows you to override the auto-fan and set it to 100% constant; it also has a better GPU for gaming (870m vs the 860m in the Lenovo).

CPU difference is miniscule and you pry won't notice any difference.

I'd go after the MSI.

So you think you'd go for the MSI?
